New Books at Main Campus: Read about Recipes, Engaging Students, & More!
Library staff were so pleased to see Altarius Moody in The New York Times boosting ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ's Culinary Arts Program.

Finishing Up National Library Week: Your Library Staff
So technically Tuesday was National Library Workers' Day, but it was also a high pollen count day, so there's been a bit of a delay in posting (apologies).

New Books: Celebrating Women's History Month
Women's History Month was enshrined in law as an annual, month-long celebration on March 12, 1987, noting that "despite these contributions [by women], the role of American women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued in the body of American history." Who reading this can say they've done their studies and can score an A+ on NCpedia's Quiz of North Carolina Women's History? I like to brush up on my knowledge with their excellent Women's History materials. This year, however
